This is from the first run in 2024 and is a fantastic instrument. I’ve loved owning it, but unfortunately space is becoming premium and with a house move looming, I need to free up cash and room. Still has the original Ernie Ball Cobalt flats with loads of life left in them (still actually quite zingy). I’ve actually toured this bass and it does a great job - punchy, articulate and captures that Joe Dart/Bernard Edwards vibe wonderfully. The neck feels incredible, very smooth and fast with a jazz-esque profile and nut width. No EQ, just a big ol’ volume knob stuck on the front and it’s all the better for it. I’ve filed the nut grooves slightly on the E and A strings as the action was a little high, now plays incredibly well with a low, fast action. It’s in 9.9/10 condition and I’ll be sad to see it go. Collection from Trelewis, South Wales, or happy to meet within 45 minutes distance or so. No trades unfortunately, I need the room and the money! £500. Any questions, drop me a message. Sam

Up for sale is my fantastic Squier Vintage Modified Fretless bass. Bass is in A1 condition, gentle home use only. These basses offer fantastic value for money and are a lovely entry point into the world of Fretless playing. In my case, it’s been a handy addition to the arsenal but is seldom used, hence the sale. As the keen eyed amongst you have noticed, this one is loaded with active EMG pickups. These pickups sound incredible. Plenty of definition, clarity and authority, and the wonderful thing about them is they are silent when soloed; you really can get that beefy, mid-focused Jaco bridge tone but without any of the 60 cycle hum. These retail for £123 (+ £10 shipping) from the big German music store and are a huge upgrade compared to the original Duncan Designed pickups. Leagues apart. I’m looking for a straight sale as I’m moving house and thinning the heard. I’m based in Trelewis, South Wales, but happy to travel 45 minutes or so in any direction to meet a buyer. Conversely, you’re more than welcome to pickup from my house and try out through an amp etc. Any questions, drop me a message. £325. Cheers, Sam

Here is my MusicMan StingRay 5 HH for sale. I took this bass in a trade a year or so ago and it has been my go-to session bass. It's a 2013 model in a super deep Blue Pearl with the black pick guard and maple neck. Setup perfectly with Rotosound Stainless Steel 5s (not as bright as you imagine!) and comes with the MusicMan Hardcase as well. Condition is a solid 8.5-9/10 - only a few swirl marks around the volume knob and under the G string on the pick guard. A genuine contender for most versatile / best function bass ever created (looking at you, G&L L2000!), this has the 5 way coil selector switch which offers a fantastic plethora of sounds. This thing shines in the studio - so many options from fat and vintage to out-and-out scooped StingRay. The quality is amazing and I think the QC on MusicMan Basses is yet to be surpassed by another decently sized manufacturer. Sounds incredible, feels incredible, and frankly, is incredible. I've loved gigging this bass and my reasons for sale are extremely petty. Firstly, as I've grown up with single pickup StingRays, my sound and technique is better suited to a single pickup StingRay. Secondly, it clashes with the green kit of the wedding band I play in (blue and green should never be seen etc...). Like I said, petty. On the other hand, if you have a black or white single humbucker StingRay 5 Special (the newer 18 volt one), I'd be happy to do a deal. Based just North of Cardiff, South Wales. Most welcome to try it here or willing to meet. Not willing to post or ship - if you want to arrange shipping, I'm happy to work with you. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Sam
